The reaction of hydrogen and iodine monochloride is given as: H2(g)+2ICl(g)→2HCl(g)+I2(g) This reaction is of first order with respect to H2(g) and ICl(g), following mechanisms were proposed : Mechanism A : H2(g)+2ICl(g)→2HCl(g)+I2(g) Mechanism B : H2(g)+ICl(g)→HCl(g)+HI(g), slow HI(g)+ICl(g)→HCl(g)+I2(g), fast Which of the above mechanism(s) can be consistent with the given information about the reaction?

Answer»

The reaction of hydrogen and iodine monochloride is given as:
H2(g)+2ICl(g)2HCl(g)+I2(g)


This reaction is of first order with respect to H2(g) and ICl(g), following mechanisms were proposed :
Mechanism A : H2(g)+2ICl(g)2HCl(g)+I2(g)


Mechanism B : H2(g)+ICl(g)HCl(g)+HI(g), slow

HI(g)+ICl(g)HCl(g)+I2(g), fast
Which of the above mechanism(s) can be consistent with the given information about the reaction?
